Chapter 503: On the Grand Celebration

As Senju Momoyama finished speaking, everyone in the room turned their eyes to Uchiha Qizhi.

Uchiha Qizhi, who was being watched by everyone, was not embarrassed. Instead, he spread his hands calmly and said, "I can't help it. Who made her like you, a jerk? I opened my eyes to protect her, not to hurt her. Forcibly taking her back to Uchiha will only make her unhappy, right?"

Senju Momoyama chuckled and didn't say anything else - it was fine to just mention it briefly to break the ice, but if he continued talking, someone would get angry and embarrassed.

"So... Uncle, you have actually been having an affair with someone else—Ouch!"

Uchiha Qizhi took his hand back and looked at his nephew with a half-smile, "Tajima doesn't even dare to ask me more about my affairs, but you are the only one who has a big mouth, right?"

Uchiha Yingji pursed his lips in grievance and moved to a position where Uchiha Qizhi couldn't reach.

Uchiha Qizhi snorted and looked at Uchiha Fengli, "Come on, kid, tell me what's wrong with you? I remember that my generation was the last group of people in the clan to be allowed to go out for training. How did you get involved with others in a situation where we would fight and kill each other as soon as we met?"

Uchiha Fengli lowered his head, hesitating and unwilling to speak. It was Senju Lingruo who spoke after a sigh, "We met three years ago on the battlefield between the two tribes near the Kingdom of Rivers."

"I know that the battle was forced to stop due to a sudden natural disaster, right? I remember that Senior Feng Li was missing for a while at that time. The two of you should have been together at that time, right?"

Uchiha Fengli's expression became serious, and he turned around with his lips pursed to look at Ling who had opened the tent and walked in. After a brief silence, he spoke, "Yes, Lingruo and I developed feelings for each other at that time."

"Please don't be so nervous. You and this, um, Senior Ling Ruo, are just the first couple to be exposed to the eyes of outsiders, but you are not the only Senju and Uchiha couple. So what we have to deal with is just the words of outsiders. Nothing will happen to you."

Except for Uchiha Hikaru who was already shocked outside, and the two old foxes Senju Momoyama and Uchiha Keiji who were mentally prepared, everyone else, including the two parties involved, was silent.

What do you mean they are not the only couple?

At this moment, Ling, who was usually extremely sensitive to other people's emotions, seemed to be unable to sense the stiffness of the crowd. He walked through the teams of the two clans, stopped in front of the three Hyuga clans, and spoke softly, "I am very happy with our cooperation these days, so I think you will keep this matter to the bottom of your heart in order to preserve your friendship with the Uchiha, right?"

"Of course, Hinata is not interested in Uchiha's affairs." Hinata Enzyme was the first to express his opinion, "If it weren't for some accidents, we probably wouldn't have so many intersections in this life."

"Well, thank you in advance." Ling nodded to Hinata Enzyme, then turned to the remaining two people, "What are the intentions of Inuzuka and Aburame?"

"We are just an ordinary employment relationship," Inuzuka Jiu said with a dejected look, "As a well-known ninja clan, it is a basic principle not to interfere in the family affairs of the employer."

"Aburame doesn't have the habit of interfering in other people's affairs," Aburame Kazumiya pulled down her hood to cover herself more tightly, "and she won't provoke a being more powerful than herself."

"That's great. I'm sure you three know the way out. I'm quite busy here, so I won't see you off—" Ling Weiwei stepped aside to make way, "I hope we can still get along well during the rest of the employment time."

The three of them all agreed politely and quickly left this place of trouble. However, as soon as they left the tent, they looked at each other and came to the conclusion that they had to get their family out of this matter and then find a way to spread the news to the other two families, otherwise, when the Senju and Uchiha really joined forces, their situation in the Fire Nation would be embarrassing!

Regardless of what the three Hyuga who left were thinking about, the atmosphere in the tent did not become much more relaxed after their departure. It was Madara who broke the silence first, "Brother, you said that Fuu Li-senpai is not the only Uchiha who is in love with Senju, right?"

"Well, they just happened to be caught by the Byakugan Hyuga. I remember there was a place deep in the Nanga River that they had opened up for hiding." Ling turned to the direction of Uchiha Keizhi, "Uncle Keizhi should know where it is, right?"

Uchiha Qizhi raised his eyebrows slightly, "You've been there? How did you find out?"

"Because all patrol routes avoided that place, I was a little concerned, so I used the excuse of practicing to go over there to take a look -" Ling held up two fingers and said in a relaxed voice, "They even had two children."

Hashirama swallowed and looked back at the calm Senju Momoyama, "So Uncle Momoyama also knows about this?"

Senju Momoyama smiled but said nothing.

But sometimes, not answering is also an answer.

Tobirama felt his head hurt even more - he had never known that besides his idiot elder brother, the clan had such a relationship with the Uchiha! Don't those Uchiha know what modesty is? ! They actually took their family members to elope like this? !

Thinking of this, Tobirama looked up at Izuna with some resentment, only to see that this usually fierce and tsundere child had a dull look on his face, still in the process of restarting. Although Madara beside him still had a cold face, judging from his trembling pupils, he was obviously also absent-minded, and his eldest brother looked even more stupid with his eyes shining...

Tobirama closed his eyes in despair, [No, I can't count on anyone - is there no one other than Uchiha Ling who can provide me with some similar information for me to compare and verify? ]

Uchiha Fengli's tense shoulders finally relaxed and he held Senju Lingruo's hand tightly again - that's great, at least the situation was not as bad as he thought.

“That being said, this is only the result of not being discovered. Senior Feng Li, you were pushed out into the open, and were even discovered with the help of a third party. So compared to those tribesmen who were not discovered, I cannot treat you lightly.”

As Ling finished speaking, Uchiha Fengli became nervous again, and subconsciously protected Senju Lingruo behind him, "…If your way of dealing with this will cause her to get hurt, I can announce here that I will sever ties with her and will no longer have any contact with her, and I am willing to be punished."

Qianshou Lingruo's expression tightened, "Wait, Feng Li you——"

Uchiha Fengli shook his head. "I have the Sharingan, although I only have two magatama, which is not as talented as those in the clan. But even so, the clan will not allow me to go to the outside world and cause the bloodline to leak out. Those clan members who stayed deep in the Nanga River may also know this, so they settled there even though they knew their behavior was not allowed."

Qianshou Lingruo pursed her lips and stopped talking, just quietly holding Uchiha Fengli's hand.

popping.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ling again, only to see him lowering his hands with a helpless look on his face, and sighing softly, "So my image in the clan is so unkind now? I thought I managed my image well."

Uchiha Feng Li laughed dryly and didn't respond - the Uchiha clan was a clan that respected the strong and whose members controlled everything. A marginal figure like him with no fighting talent was more in awe of young and powerful people like Ling and Uchiha Akihiko than close to them. If he hadn't taken advantage of the position of a medical ninja, it would have been unclear whether the two sides had any contact in a large clan like the Uchiha clan, so how could they understand each other?

Ling seemed not to notice Uchiha Fengli's embarrassment, and chuckled and said, "Here's what I think. Anyway, it has been discovered by outsiders. If we don't intend to kill all three tribes, this matter is bound to be hidden from the nobles. Instead of waiting for them to make trouble, we might as well take the initiative to make a bigger fuss."

"Make it bigger?" Uchiha Qizhi raised an eyebrow with interest, and his words were inevitably gloating, "You are afraid that Tajima will be idle."

Senju Momoyama on the other side also laughed, "Haha, if we do that, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the Buddhist world."

Looking at the three people with the same smile, Uchiha Fengli felt a little flustered, "Is it...what do you want me to do?"

Ling raised his lips when he heard this, "Senior Feng Li, have you ever considered snatching the bride directly and holding a grand ceremony at the doorstep of the enemy during the truce?"
